This is an opportunity for an experienced CAMHS psychiatrist to take a senior clinical role within a multidisciplinary service providing assessment, treatment and ongoing care to children, adolescents and their families.
The post will suit a Consultant looking for a position where they can combine direct clinical work with multidisciplinary leadership, service development and supervision of junior medical staff, while working within Ireland’s consultant-led public mental health system.
